Great set to buy and a wonderful play experience

Glad to have gotten this set before it was retired. Great swooshability and many easy-to-use play features for younger kids. Absolutely worth it for the price if you can still get your hands on one. One thing for me is I struggled to follow the instructions at times, as it takes a good eye to see the pieces being connected. Because of this, early on I made a mistake and did not realize it until later, which forced me to restart the entire build. It took 11 hours to finish, but that was because of an error on my part, so the average building time would probably be between 5-8 hours if you concentrate. Overall, an amazing build to have and I'm still so glad to have bought it and built it.

Super Cool Lego Set

When I discovered this wet I was looking for cool lego spaceships as spaceships are my main passion with legos. I was looking for something to make stories with and play with. I love star wars but I wanted a change. This set blew me away the moment I laid eyes on it. After building I realized its not only a great player but its insanely detailed. This set is also very sturdy at no moment did I have a problem with it breaking. The instructions are slightly challenging but apart from that this set is a must have for spaceship fans!!!

Great experience

As a (hot, pretty and adorable) chemist I enjoyed building this set. I was able to finish it in a day. The only issues is that for some parts it was hard to join them together and you would need to apply a lot of pressure. Very movable parts, displays nicely.

This set is one of the best I’ve ever seen!

I recently built the LEGO Spaceship, and it was an absolute blast! The set offered a fun and engaging build, with detailed instructions that made the process smooth from start to finish. The spaceship itself looks fantastic once completed, with sleek lines and intricate design elements that really make it stand out. The pieces fit together well, and the overall build is sturdy. It's a great addition to any LEGO collection, especially for space-themed enthusiasts. The only downside is that the smaller parts can be a bit tricky to handle, but it's a minor issue. Overall, it's a highly satisfying set that's well worth the time and effort.

Really cool

This is really cool it took my son and his dad a whole day to build. Has a lot of moving parts and is able to pick up the car with the airplane and hold it while flying.
